The receiver drier will store the refrigerant until the evaporator requires it, ensuring that only liquefied refrigerant flows to the evaporator. Secondly the refrigerant is filtered and dried. After separation of gas and liquid, liquid refrigerant flows to the expansion valve.
SMP® designs and manufactures receiver driers made of either steel or aluminum. The receiver driers are available in form of Standalone Receiver Drier (Conventional type – RD is separated from the condenser) or Integral Receiver Drier (Newer design – RD is integrated with the condenser)
